im going to be using different screws on mine though as i dont want to use the security bolts (need 2 sold separately) where the hex breaks off after it's torqued. be too much of a hassle to redo in the field if the new one fails.

Im going to keep a little kit in my Z with the 'old' lock as backup and some tools to use to do the work.

np!

Wait, you spent 500 bucks to be "proactive"?? Damn.

Had horrible traction on wet roads with snow tires this morning. One scary moment taking a turn and the car going straight still for 10-15 feet....

SPOHN.......is Mike doing your powdercoat? Just curious, I have seen his work and it's top notch.

Steering column lock.....hummm...will have to check tonight. Car was purchased in Mar 09, so it may fall into the pre build Sept 09 issue. My solution is to have the second Z at bay at all times...haha.....no, all kidding a side this sux. I wonder if I can jimmie mine at the dealer parking lot to fail, then have it replaced under warranty. Thx Ken for that info. Is there a thread on this issue somewhere on the forum? Are the G37's having the same issue?
